Sandra Bland, And The Criticism Of Courage

In the midst of the tragedy that was Sandra Bland’s recent murder at the hands of race soldiers in a jail cell in Waller County, TX, Black Society is mourning the loss of yet another senseless death in the Melanoid family. Mainstream news outlets are giving varying accounts of what occurred on the events leading up to, and surrounding her death, via the seemingly botched video footage of her arrest that has been released. The Late Sandra Bland’s mother has already vowed to seek justice for her daughter’s death. Last but not least, the unjust system of white supremacy rears its ugly head–albeit from the state of Texas–once again.

Although this developing story is guaranteed to spark much debate from many schools of thought, perhaps one of the most confusing (and disappointing) ideologies emanating from Black Society throughout this ordeal is the lambasting of Sandra Bland’s outspoken and unapologetic celebration of her own Blackness. Earlier this year, we here at Melanoid Nation touched on a topic that relates to the issue at hand, and that is some Melanoid peoples’ tendencies to not want to care about systematic racism/white supremacy “as long as it doesn’t affect them directly”. This particular topic stems from the Sandy Speaks” series of videos that she would upload on social media, in which she would openly speak on topics such as racism/white supremacy, white privilege, and the empowerment of Melanoid people.

In some circles of Black Society, there is a belief that if Sandra wouldn’t have been as outspoken or unapologetically Black, then she would be alive now. This same method of assumptive thinking also applies to the “Maybe they just shouldn’t have sagged their pants” sector of Black Society as well. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as Melanoid men, women, and children were senselessly lynched during  the first half of the 20th century in large numbers wearing suits, dresses, and school uniforms. It’s quite safe to acknowledge that many of these innocent people did what they could to stay out of trouble, and were highly productive citizens of society at that time before being killed by white supremacists.

Everyone in Black Society has a role to play in making their racial family a better one, and it is understandable that everyone doesn’t choose to be as public on their racial views as other Melanoid people. However, let us honor and support those who aren’t afraid to openly use their voices speak truth to power at the risks of losing ruining their reputations, losing their livelihoods, and even their lives. Perhaps this particular matter alone has provided enough incentive alone for us to create larger and more prevalent Black-owned and operated media outlets. This should be done in order to allow revolutionary spirits such as the Sandra Blands of the world to be our voice of reason without censorship or apprehension.

Today, we applaud the late, great Sandra Bland for her courage, and her beautiful spirit. She illustrated that there is indeed more honor in dying on our feet than living on our knees.

    the more i watch the video of here arrest the more i understand that was woman of great courage and conviction may she rest in peace, i pray this is a point where we start to understand that none of us people of color or a lower economic class as it may be are immune to a society hell bent on oppression, we have seen this to many time men women children are all subject to acts of terror and we will continue to be until we reach the conclusion that we are more than just disposable people less than human to be discarded at the whim of any racist bastard who might be having a bad day. Unfortunately this young woman fight has reached an untimely end but ours continue.

    I think she saw the end of the road as a “LOSER”. Getting caught again by the POlice, losing her new job at the school (what is a student ambassador anyway?). She did a pretty good imitation of someone experiencing “racist brutality” and physical torment at the hands of police, so long as she knew the camera was rolling.
    Maybe she offed her black self because she was a jonesing for a blunt?
    Maybe she was sick & tired of smelling white and wetback farts in her cell?
    She was a sick person who should have been locked up in a lunatic asylum, never to prowl our nation’s highways. Oh, Well, there is this handy garbage bag here, let’s show em all we ain’t afraid!
    Oh! If only Rachel Dolezal were here to take charge! Things would be all settled in hours.

      Shut the fuck up,otto punk. You should really relax with your racist rhetoric. You need to check your nonsense at the door,bitch ass. But i know that this site attracts trolls like yourself because you and your kind likes to agitate things because you are a real punk in real life. Watch yourself,boy!

      Wow, real original. “She offed herself because she was jonesing for a blunt”. You whiteys always amaze me at how lame you are when it comes to verbal sparring. Not surprising though. I grew up in the suburbs around white people and it wasn’t until I got older that I understood how pathetic your people are. Seriously. Your entire culture is based off of stealing other people’s shit and saying it’s yours. You’re not original, unique, or interesting and the world is waking up to that fact and getting tired of your b.s. Let’s face it. IS isn’t killing white people because they don’t like the clothes you wear. They’re killing you because your people basically has it coming. You’ve had it coming for hundreds of years. Add that to the fact that white people’s population is actually decreasing and more of your people are getting divorced/not bothering to marry at all and well…..You end up with a guy like Otto. Emasculated and reduced to going on black websites to throw out such zingers as “Maybe she was sick & tired of smelling white and wetback farts in her cell” The only thing white people are good for lately is talking shit about black people online or shooting up buildings. The sooner we separate from them the better. Then it’s just a simple matter of letting IS wipe them out.

        1) unless you don’t live in America or Europe, their culture is your culture.
        2) White people made things- they also took things they liked from cultures they liked or respected, and I can’t see any particular problem with making your society smarter and more civil.
        3) your realize that white population is shrinking because white people are marrying people of alternate descent and their kids identify as minority? (also, being white isn’t really a desirable thing- minorities have scholarships for being minority, are hired as proof of being diverse, and are widely considered to be as, if not more attractive than whites. Also the stigma of being a slave-owning society)
        4) “The only thing white people are good for lately is talking shit about black people online or shooting up buildings.” … and you were calling him bigoted/rude? (not that he wasn’t- he definitely was. But still).

    @Otto the days of white supremacy are coming to an end. The structure is crumbling as we speak and due to your people’s own arrogance you have awoken an international sleeping giant. Black may have no friends but at least we know what were working with. Racist White ppl are so dense and arrogant they believe they can insult cultures,steal others cultures and the whole world loves them. Racist white ppl are like the rich kids in grade school. Everybody pretends to be their friends but only use them to get what they need and talk shit on them.Look at your women laying up with black men,Asian men,Mexican men,Arab men, Native Indian men,Samoan men..they want everything but you..why is that?
